Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote about ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough health care training with a main focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat problems ranging from standard problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
